Overview

 

Enjoy the ultimate theater experience with Insider’s View — including a cast meet and greet, signed photo of the cast, pre-show cocktail and premier seating for Olivier Award-winning musical, We Will Rock You. Join an alliance of rebel Bohemians, a dreamer named Galileo and a cynic named Scaramouche in this champion of a show written by comedian and author Ben Elton. The West End comes to the high seas with a score of killer Queen anthems, like “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Killer Queen” and of course, “We Will Rock You.” Get an up-close look at the musical that rocked over 6.5 million people in a record-breaking 12 years at the iconic Dominion Theatre in London.

You men their "free" reservation was cancelled because someone paid $79 to meet the cast? Sounds silly. I got the idea that seats in the back in the middle got the best sound.

Who would want a signed photo of some cruise employees? [emoji23]

RCCL canceled peoples reservations for the cruise on Sunday, because they are having a special VIP show and charging $79. I can't see anyone paying $79 for something they can see for free.

Especially if they have to pay $79 for it.

I hope that they end up with an empty theater and egg on their faces.

I wonder if they just canceled some of the reservations to open up just one section of the theater to sell for the $79. I can't believe they would really believe a third of the passengers would pay $79 to see a show that they can see for free.

This is cray cray :eek::eek:

[Merion_Mom]

Like the Oasis raising the price for Johnny Rockets to $9.95 - I think that this is another "Royal Caribbean experiment" to see what the market will bear.

 

I repeat: I hope that they end up with an empty theater and egg on their faces.

Sounds like the CD has some explaining to do....

I cannot even begin to imagine why you think that this is something that the CD cooked up! :o

[BEENSAILING]

Re CD - not saying he cooked it up.... but seems he is the person who would need to explain to those who had reservations and were cancelled.

 

Just checked on my June Anthem cruise. There is an option for "We Will Rock You" to reserve comp or to pay the $79 per person for "Insider's View" at same performances... (IMHO...soooooo not worth it...... - wonder how many people will actually pay?)

[Merion_Mom]

Oh, CRAP! It's there for my Liberty cruise in February, too. "Insider's View of Saturday Night Fever.....$79"

 

The bean counters have really gone A Bridge Too Far on this one. :mad:

[ChipLondon]

I actually think idea behind this has some merit, but it simply has not been thought through. At the end of the day Royal is a business and should look at all opportunities to create extra turnover, from existing facilities on board.........BUT

 

The $79 price is way to high, and the offering way to low. I think some people would buy into this if they also include a dress up session and a photo as if the cruiser was a performer in the show. They could then sell a special cast member T-Shirt.

 

I applaud anyone that is creative with business opportunities, but there are many others on most Royal ships that would be more appealing than this.

[Merion_Mom]

IMO, Saturday Night Fever on the Liberty is barely worth seeing for free. :rolleyes:

[LuCruise]

I know this is an extra event , but I really hope they don't start charging for shows in general. I forget if it's Carnival or NCL but not all of their shows are included. That would suck.

I saw this show a few years ago when it was on in London's West End. I had very good seats which cost me less than the equivalent of $79.

 

Obviously, I knew the music, but didn't think the show was very good.

Agree, hard to stay awake.

For Cats, I’d tell them my payment is buried in the sand. :')

[parrotfeathers]

Of course some will pay for it. Look how many pay for a tour of the bridge, etc. But $79 is rather steep.

I'm booked on the Symphony 'pre-booking' cruise on March 31st. Entertainment reservations are not yet open, leaving me to think there's a question mark over whether one or more will be ready.

 

Flight comes to mind, but I continue to hope, it's the one I want to see most!

 

Now, I'm starting to wonder if potential charging might also be a factor.

 

I'm usually pretty sanguine about 'nickel and diming', I ignore the announcements, avoid the Royal Promenade during T-Shirt and watch sales and happily do my own thing.

 

Charging for shows would be a step too far IMO. I enjoyed We Will Rock You on Anthem, the story is ludicrous but the music is great. I've also seen Saturday Night Fever on Liberty. Again, I enjoyed it, but neither was worth $79!

[welshrich]

Soon it will be a base price for the cruise which will include a cabin and food in the WJ, then you pay for room cleaning, eating in the MDR, this is something that would make me think about going with another line or even more land based vacations.

 

We are on Ovation in May and have heard a rumour that they charge for ifly, something that was free on Anthem, I hope it's not true as it's one of the reasons we booked Ovation.

If you want record profits, you need to work every opportunity.
